Could be that attack that's slowed down the internet...

I haven't noticed any general slowdown now. But I assume Ixy might be right.

Poly's been horribly slow for me over the last few days. It's actually a bit better today.

hi ,

check out the virus thread

have a nice day

It can probably be the attack, in case it has slowed your ISP down. I had some serious slowdowns yesterday, but today it's back to my normal loading times.

it seems to be doing well now. I expected the connection in the Uni to be slower, despite it being broadband, because a couple of servers were hit.

However, it also was slow at home, and my ISP was fully covered, and protected.

No problems for me.

It works very well for me as well, now.

Ming, you can close this thread, if you want to.

Yesterday at 7 GMT I was down to modem speeds.......it was horrible. It wasn't my ISP, but perhaps the general attack was responsible.......I remember thinking it seems a strange time for 'Poly to be slow.

hi ,

well it could be that the page you view is not in direct line , most likely the page you view goes true several servers in several places , if one of them is "sick" , well you get a slow down , ......

it is perfectly possible that a user in china sees a page fine in like 5 seconds and the same page in wisconsin ( US ) loads in 25 minutes , ..... with same modem speeds , ....

have a nice day

Agreed. It was probably a routing problem somewhere.

**Dinner** · January 28, 2003, 10:14

I think the worm is to blame.

**spartak** · January 28, 2003, 15:21

Which worm?

Az · January 30, 2003, 16:46

you know, the one that targeted SQL server.
